When it comes to bringing money into and taking it out of The Gambia, there are specific regulations you should be aware of. Here’s a brief overview:

Importing currency

You can bring in foreign currency without any limits when entering The Gambia. However, it’s essential to declare any amount equivalent to or exceeding $10,000 USD to the customs authorities upon arrival. 

This declaration is crucial to avoid any issues or misunderstandings during your stay or when departing.

Exporting currency

When leaving The Gambia, the rules get a bit stricter. The amount of Gambian dalasi (GMD) you can take out is limited. 

Generally, you’re not allowed to export more than the equivalent of 10,000 dalasi (around £150) in local currency. 

The amount you can take out for foreign currencies should not exceed the amount you declared upon entry, minus what you’ve spent during your stay. 

Keeping receipts for major expenses can help in proving your expenditures if needed.
